Can a Windows-based computer use a USB printer that is attached to a Mac and already shared with other Macs on my home network? Everything is Mac OS X here except my wife's PC, and it would be great it she could use my USB-only laser printer that's hooked up to one of the Macs.

Thanks for all advice on the matter.

Thanks again for the networking tip.
